Workers clean the surface of a giant bronze drum in Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County, Southwest China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Jan. 10, 2016. The drum, which is 4.2 meters in diameter, 2.6 meters tall and weighs 7 tons, was designed by two artisans who continue the Zhuang people’s traditional bronze drum casting techniques. It took six months for 20 workers to make the drum, which is said to be the world’s largest. Local authorities plan to apply for recognition in the Guinness World Records this month. (Photo/IC)
